The talented Dubliner has earned plaudits from some industry juggernauts for his deeply personal compositions.

Singer-songwriter Ciarán Moran is set to play a headline show at The Grand Social on March 16.

An acclaimed local artist, Moran has been praised from some of Irish music’s biggest names, including , Christy Moore, Damien Dempsey and Christy Dignam – who’ve lauded the young artist for his ability and willingness to traverse delicate and at times difficult subject matter in his music.

“There’s real fire in this kid,” says Glen Hansard. “He’s not afraid to write about topics some would not speak about.”

His acclaimed debut EP Life Inner City was dropped in 2022, solidifying Moran as an artist who’s never too far away from his roots through his delicate songwriting.

The St Patrick’s weekend show is set to add to Moran’s already impressive CV of live gigs, including sold-out nights at Whelan’s and The Academy in his hometown, as well the Greennote in London. He’s also opened for the likes of Macy Gray, David Keenan and Jamie Webster.

Tickets to Ciarán Moran’s headliner at the Grand Social on March 16, 2024, start from €15. He also has a show at London’s Greennote on March 22. Tickets for both events are available via tickemaster.ie.
